Founded in 2016 by Brooke Gagliano in Freehold, New Jersey, Frutta Bowls began with a simple mission: to bring delicious, nutritious, and energizing food to local communities.
Inspired by the açai bowls she encountered during a trip out west, Gagliano introduced the concept to her hometown, launching what would quickly grow into a recognizable brand across the United States.
Since its inception, Frutta Bowls has expanded to dozens of locations in over a dozen states, offering a vibrant menu of açai, pitaya, and kale bowls, smoothies, toasts, and protein bites.
Frutta Bowls sets itself apart from other health-focused eateries by prioritizing customization and community connection. With extensive options to tailor each bowl or smoothie, the brand meets a wide range of dietary preferences and needs.
Now part of the WOWorks family of restaurant brands, Frutta Bowls benefits from a network that includes Saladworks, Barberitos, Garbanzo Mediterranean Fresh, and others.

The franchisor also reserves the right to sell products through alternate channels, such as food trucks or store-within-a-store setups, even within the franchisee’s Territory. The size and scope of the Territory are determined solely by the franchisor and may vary based on market conditions.
